Due to the poor environment inside Maraudon, Aaron's mental state gradually became depressed. In addition, monsters living in the cave would come out to attack from time to time. Aaron had not been able to get enough rest during this period. Now that he knew that Celebras's preparations would take some time, he immediately fell into a deep sleep against the wall of the cave.
When Aaron was woken up, he saw that Celebras had completed the ritual and summoned an emerald green portal on the ground - based on Arcane with the mages. Different from Ley Line's teleportation gate, the teleportation gate arranged by Celebras is based on the power of nature. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, but for the current needs and when the way forward is unclear, this kind of teleportation gate is more useful.
Celebras explained that he targeted the individual with the strongest vitality within Maraudon, so it must be Princess Theradras.
"You won't open the portal to your aunt, will you?" Aaron asked before stepping into the portal.
Celebras looked like he was looking at a fool. "If you open it next to Theradras, you will be discovered. How can this door be maintained?"
"Then I hope you didn't open the door into the water." Aaron muttered. Theradras has been staying on an island in the middle of the lake. If Celebras opens the door in the wrong position, he might really want to take a trip to the lake.
Passing through the green portal, Aaron looked at the clusters of white crystals in front of him, feeling like he had been cheated. Even if Aaron's memory of Maraudon was vague, he still knew that Theradras stayed on an island in the middle of the lake. This place was just a semi-open cave, and it was definitely not the place where Theradras lived.
"This place... maybe I went to the wrong place?" Cavindra looked at the surrounding environment and finally came to this conclusion.
"How do you know? I think this looks like a place where Earth Elemental lives." Vereesa pointed at the surrounding white crystals growing from below the ground and Earth Elemental wandering among the crystals.
"Who said we went in the wrong direction?" Celebras, as the maintainer of the portal, was the last one to cross the portal. After hearing the conversation between Cavindra and Vereesa, he immediately asked, but when his whole body was completely numb, After walking out of the portal, he also realized that something might have gone wrong. "This is not the graveyard of Uncle Zaetar... But that's not right. I clearly teleported here following the location of the most powerful individual here..."
"The most powerful individual? Could it be that one?" Cavindra showed a panicked expression and pointed at a huge white giant opposite the crystal bush and said.
"Maybe," Celebras was still a little confused, "Although Mountain Giant may be very powerful, there is no reason why it would be stronger than Theradras, right?"
"Don't worry about that, the giant is coming." Cavindra's words revealed fear. This poor Dryad was not good at fighting to begin with, especially the psychological pressure brought by Mountain Giant, who was more than ten meters tall, made her even more panicked, and now she wanted to find a place to hide.
As an ally of Night Elf, Cavindra is no stranger to Mountain Giant, and is well aware of the lethality of this huge rock-skinned man, especially when the other party clearly shows hostility.
"Just come over here." Aaron didn't take it seriously. Although he had never seen Mountain Giant when he was at Northrend, people like Sea Giant Storm Giant steel Iron Giants and the like are not uncommon to see. We still have a certain understanding of the strength of this huge race with many subspecies. Can a Mountain Giant be more difficult to deal with than Loken, a steel Iron Giants made from Forge of Wills?
At this time, Mountain Giant had already crossed the crystal bush and rushed towards Aaron and the others, holding a thick rock stick in his hand - Mountain Giant usually pulls out a big tree as a weapon, but unfortunately there is no tree to pull out in Maraudon. Mountain Giant shouted to everyone in a muffled voice, "You are not welcome here, get out!"
"Let's leave now, don't do anything with us?" Aaron asked tentatively, "Please ask, do you know where Theradras is? We..."
Before Aaron could finish speaking, Mountain Giant had already rushed over, sweeping the stone stick in his hand, forcing Aaron to jump up and avoid it. At the same time, Mountain Giant roared, "I, Landslide, don't allow you to approach Princess Theradras!"
"Is this Mountain Giant..." Aaron was stunned for a moment, realizing that this Mountain Giant might have some thoughts about Theradras, right? It's just an emotional entanglement between two stone bumps. Aaron didn't want to care. He just took advantage of the opponent's opportunity to retract the stick and swung Silver Hand Warhammer at Mountain Giant's thigh. With Aaron's size, he could only hit this position.
Mountain Giant's reaction was not slow either. He reached forward with his free hand and blocked Aaron's war hammer. However, he was severely hit and several cracks appeared on the white rock covering his body.
"Wait a minute, this hammer is..." After the giant made of white rock blocked Aaron's hammer, the stiff facial features made of rock suddenly showed a shocked expression. "Is this Silver Hand?"
Aaron took back the hammer, took a few steps back, and looked at Mountain Giant warily, "Do you know this hammer?"
Landslide over there took two steps back, "What is your relationship with Mr. Tyr?"
Seeing that Landslide seemed to have no intention of continuing the fight, Aaron told the other party exactly how he had obtained Silver Hand from Tyr and the purpose of his trip. If Mountain Giant wanted to fight like this, then Aaron could only accompany him.
"I see," Landslide showed a hesitant expression and said to Aaron, "Princess Theradras is not a bad person, you must have misunderstood."
"Misunderstanding?" Aaron smiled bitterly, "Do you know what the land above has become?"
With that said, Aaron introduced Desolace's situation to Landslide. This made the rock giant's expression become more complicated, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"I will take you over to find her," Landslide thought for a long time, and then said to Aaron, "I hope you can speak clearly by then. If she is really the culprit, I..."
Before Landslide finished speaking, it was clear that the identity of Aaron Tyr's heir was not as important as Theradras's status in his heart. It only slightly shook the heart of Mountain Giant, who had lived alone in Maraudon for thousands of years.
Aaron on the side felt extremely complicated, but it was a good thing that Mountain Giant was willing to lead the way. He was even more familiar with this underground cave than Theradras - Landslide lived here thousands of years before Theradras was awakened by Tauren.
